i like alot of the old school 15" 5 and 7 series rims and im thinking of going to 5 bolt conversion just so i can use them. Will it be alot of hassle if my rear brakes are drums right now? should i look into adapters? i idea isnt to safe for me and i dont want any vibrations :s

the bbs rz i like but they dont come around for sale to often i think?

If you want RZ378's, PM euro3 on r3vlimited.com. David got me my set.

Also, browse that site. You have no idea how many wheel options you have 4x100.

options yeah i know.. but not everything is available like 5 bolt pattern where ppl are just tossing those out (went to cheap thrills in milton for used old rims and they had 5 bolt bmw stuff just laying around but nothing for 4x100)

Well do you prefer to spend your money on a 5lug swap and gamle with bent wheels at cheap thrills or buy a decent set of 4x100 wheels?

i'd just suggest getting a set of 15" euro weaves. direct fit, proper offset. and they look wicked!

hehe cant be yours it was a random find thanks to a friend. i got them from the original owner he ordered them 15 years ago and they are in mint shape and super smooth on the high way

Nice. I had a set of 16x8.5 ET10 ones, as far as I know another member on here still has them.

When I had them they were new old stock, never mounted on a car. I hear they are a lot rougher now though...

see and you were worried! now lower it and look for an M-tech front valance and voila! ur a pimp!

I think you should keep the euro bumpers and drop it with some H&R Sport's.
Your car looks great!

yeah i wanna lower it but my g/f says it looks more old school classy being stock height. going to the 205 wide 16's ready makes a difference on fuel efficiency tho. i used to ride on 175s on 14's hehe

You'll have better fuel economy if you lower it.
Less drag and you won't have to slow down as much when you're turning.

but i think i would have to slam it to be effective and the ride would be so stiff and the low sidewalls... i might change the tires to 185/55/16 it might be softer and more side wall to keep the rims safe from pot holes? There are many on the way to and from work*mumble*

Just get some e30 M3 springs to lower it slightly... It will look mint. but still oem correct. Sweet car man, I love it. You planning on bringing it to the e30 meets this summer?

Thadose

03-25-2009, 01:03 PM

*th-up* i like the e30 m3 springs idea
yeah i will try to make it to some for sure.
